The "creative commons" are essentially different from the "physical commons". Remember the quip about "if we exchange apples we still have one apple each but if we exchange ideas we now have two ideas each"?

For that reason use of the physical commons normally requires exclusivity, but not so use of the creative commons.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma

A suggestion to replace GDP -> increase in collective IQ is more useful than any other form of economic growth.

Collective IQ includes the ability to make and build useful stuff. It also includes the ability to do the right thing when planning for the future.

Non-Georgist approaches don't just steal value, they also diminish collective IQ by making intelligent foresight less likely.
